Enjoy Clive September has been cancelled for us, no Palma this year. We shall just have to make up next year. Hopefully Sicily will be on for August.

KLM are upguaging the AMS flight to the Embraer 190 from tomorrow. Booking engine shows upguage to B737-700 from 6th July.

This is a good sign that load factors are starting to return.

Yes, but it illustrates the long road ahead - no direct long-haul competition, minimal connecting long-haul competition

I can see Q4 passenger traffic struggling to get to 30% of last year and Q1 next year maybe getting to 50%-60%

Unfortunately AGS are still to report March and April figures to the CAA. They are the only one's outstanding for March, and 8 other airports are also outstanding for April. As at February, our 12-month figure was 8.8m, so I would think we're probably down 1.5-2.0m since then. Good to see KLM having a bit of faith, but it's going to be a long, slow road to recovery.

I noted the builders have returned at the new manufacturing district project along the Abbotsinch Rd today. Although two builders stooped over a large kerb stone about 10 inches apart and with no facial protection, wasn't awfully impressive. And a half built Starbucks drive in near me in Paisley is underway again too.

Do you know what the 2 or 3 new drive through eateries under construction are at the Phoenix opposite Burger King?
